Friday night and Saturday morning we got some great progress done on our individual projects this weekend already. I worked one the curtains for Aimee’s nursery (finished them by 11:30 on Saturday!) and Ryan made great progress on the built-ins for the tvroom. Friday night he made the face frame for the right side cabinet …
Wednesday and Thursday night this week I worked on the applique for my nephew’s wall hanging. Here it is Wed night, the giraffe is done (minus the embroidery face) and the elephant body is attached. Thursday night I also attached the sun. The applique goes so much faster than I remember and now I know …
I got some sewing done tonight – the valances for my sister’s nursery! I made two of them, they go with the curtains I’m still working on (one window done, one to go on those). Then because I won’t be home tomorrow night to sew, I got some of the animals for the quilt ready …
Well the cold hit hard but fast and I seem to be doing much better now. I’ve learned from past experience that the cough that persists can be cleared up with my Advaire Rx if I start it once my cold subsides and it’s been helping again. So I’m ready for the weekend (well after …
Well this weekend went by pretty quickly. Since we’re on hold with the insulation we have to keep the livingroom/diningroom empty. This meant my plans to move the tables out of the gym to start crown molding did not happen (no place to put the tables until we can use the diningroom again). However Ryan …
Halloween costumes for 2010 are finished up and dropped off as of last night. Wednesday night I finished up the princess dress no problem, then attached the collar to the Black cat shirt and the sequins to the ears. Thursday night I attached the ears to the headband. And pictures! I love making costumes for …
That wasn’t too hard – I got the overskirt for Maia’s princess dress all done tonight. I’m going to locate the pattern for the underskirt and maybe even cut the fabric tonight but otherwise I’m pretty much done for the night. I don’t know if this will end up really looking like Ariel’s dress but …
On Saturday we had quite a busy day. We had some visitors as well as my sister and her husband who came up for the night. We worked a bit on the deck and used up the rest of the decking, we didn’t quite close up the gap but it’s down to about 12 inches. …

Last night I decided to get a start on the Gypsy costume for Georgia. I would really like to have both Georgia and Chloe’s costumes done for their party on Sunday. Knowing the Black Cat costume is pretty easy (just a shirt/ears/tail left) I decided to see how hard the Gypsy costume would be. I …
October is a month of sewing! I have to finish up Emily’s birthday quilt before this weekend when we see her and then I have to get 3 halloween costumes done for my cousins as well as maybe one for myself this year?! So Tuesday night I squared up the quilt and made the binding. …
